Breastfeeding is Our Business - Make it Yours, Too!

Mothers often begin preparing to breastfeed before they are even pregnant.  They do their research, read books, purchase nursing bras, plan a birth without interventions and look to their partners for support.  Did you know that even if you don't currently breastfeed, you can have an influence on those who do?  Providing a supportive, non-judgmental and comfortable environment for nursing mothers has a positive impact on women continuing to breastfeed.  Knowing that their community is behind them and that they don't have to try to be "covert" or stay hidden gives nursing mothers confidence.  Breastfeeding is nature's design for optimal nutrition and provides health benefits for babies and their mothers.  Make breastfeeding your business and support a healthier future for your community!

My Farewell for Now

To everyone who has followed From Womb To Cradle:

I have recently decided that I can no longer be a part of this great company at this time. The ladies at this company, Michelle and Sherel, are putting much of their time and energy into getting this company up and running. At this time I feel I cannot put as much effort into the company as they can or as much as I would like to.

My daughter is now 3 months old and I have decided to focus all of my attention and time on her and my husband. This does not allow for any time to help get a company running successfully. I am currently still working on my doula certification and plan to continue working on this until I am completely certified. I am hoping this can be accomplished in the near future. I have also decided that it would be best for me to do this on my own as I don't feel I yet have enough experience as a doula to charge the going rate for doulas. In the future I am planning on getting as much experience as possible and learning as much as I can while still keeping the focus on my family. It is also difficult to work as an equal partner with these two great ladies when they both live in Redcliff and I am in Tilley.

I wish Michelle and Sherel best of luck with this company and their doula career adventure. Thank you to all of you who continue to support myself, Michelle, and Sherel in our doula careers. Also thank you to all of you who followed my pregnancy and birth story. Farewell for now.
